I'm not sure how fresh this news is, but I don't see a thread on it. So here goes magic box listed some of the characters and teams for it.

I heard that news was fake. Guess we'll have to wait for Eolith to clear up things...oh wait, they don't even know who to put in...

There goes Magicbox and their "put rumors up assuming that they're confirmed." Then why would Eolith put up a poll if the teams are decided.

......Personally, I'm getting tired of KOF. I played the cart for 2 days, fingured some useless but nice combos, done. I miss 95...

I don't. Broken gameplay up the wazoo. I played SFA more than that game.

That game had tension. KOF today lacks that tension. I tend to go to GG or 3rd Strike more often. Besides, 2001 had quite a few deadly bugs itself.

only thing of worthy note is that "Botsu team" is called "Mu Team" on Magicbox...

Which means one of three things:
1-Poll means absolutely nothing and this is the true roaster, former reporter was given the name "Botsu" instead of true name of "Mu"
2-Poll will be used to add a brand new team to the cast of the 3 winning non-included characters + one additional Eolith selected character making a nice even 16 teams
3-MagicBox prints anything they think sounds cool

Hmmm this is rather old news, but then again I still think it is rather impossible to do a good fighting game with 60 characters. Think of the bug checks and designs...Bearing in mind that Eolith is still in the stage of finalizing the final roster (from the polling thing they are doing)...and they are going to finish the game in 4 months time? Simply impossible... even if they do they wouldn't do a good job...

I suspect that they already did some animation designs for the new characters, for example, the new characters in Lin's winning pose, but still judging by the time they have, the rumoured roster is doubtful...but I am still looking forward to it.

The only antidote to my poison is death...Hey! No fair! You have a resurrection move??

Acutally, I doubt they can even release it at that date. As the Proffesor points out, I think it's a typo. KOF has always been a summer thing (until the past couple of KOFs), and if the release date is May, info on a location test should be out by now.

I agree with the Professor that it has DEFINITELY got to be a typo error. It wouldn't be releasing in May thats for sure, but Eolith mentioned earlier it will be released in Aug. The other KOF before 2K1 were released in Aug, so I suppose they do not want to break the old fashion. 2K1 was released in Nov, as Eolith needed more time due to handling all the stuff from taking over from SNK.

I am not suspecious of Eolith's efficiency, but judging from 2K1 I seriously don't think they can make a good 2K2, if they are going to do 60 characters and finish it in Aug.

"Tension"?

You want real tension, play Samurai Shodown.

Cause this rumoured new teams really don't excite me, even with the Garou crew coming in. *Yawn* It still seems to be more of the same post 98 KOF formula, which is starting to stagnate badly...

I think Eoltih/Playmore need to really change the formula for KOF, and the need to do it soon. Either create an entirely new cast of characters a la Garou, or a new game system, or both. Just something different for the series...

Though I would like a Dream Match game using KOF's 98 system at some point. Perhaps they can churn that out once every three years, a Dream Match game full of all the old character, buffered in by a totally new KOF game and story...

Bah. If they changed the system too much, they'd alienate too many people who play it. Including me.

Well, the site did say it was UNCONFIRMED.

The old rumour seems to sound right after all, but unconfirmed...

Wait and see, once again.
